Ed Ames - My Cup Runneth Over

[@thomaslamendola4027]

I love this song more and more with each passing day.

[@CharleneImperatrice]

Ed Ames was a magical, gentle giant with the best male voice in the world .. I once met him in Hawaii ....a true gentleman !❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@siuwahchan]

Ed Ames is just like the most expensive wine in the world, gets better as it ages. How could we not love him.

[@midtod]

A truly great, very underrated singer, with a beautifully mellow and rich voice even as he got older. So sorry to hear of his passing this Sunday night, May 28, 2023.

[@sneaker0387]

Not only is this a great song, but for his voice to be this strong after all these years is amazing

[@barbaraadamson4668]

IN 1969 THIS SONG WAS THE THEME SONG AT OUR WEDDING. 54 YEARS LATER IM STILL MARRIED TO THE BEST MAN IN THE WORLD.

[@TheOriginalRick]

I was 16 when the song came out and I knew it was a great song. Now that Mrs. Rick and I have been married 50 years, I know it to be an extraordinary song.

[@bandini22221]

That wonderful generation is almost gone. God bless Ed Aims and his beautiful music.

[@jgwalton]

I couldn't agree more!

[@friendofhashem]

I was married to my wife shirl for 47 years and at times , I would lay beside her and think of this song. She passed away this past year and I remember the sunshine years. I thank GOD that we had that kind of love.

[@TheOriginalRick]

We just passed our 47th year together last month. I can't imagine what I would do without her, and the pain you must have felt. I am glad you can remember the good times, and look forward to being reunited one day.

[@docaylsw]

If I'm not mistaken, Ed was in his eighty's when this was performed. His breath control is still amazing and his voice is even better than before. How many performers do you know who sound better at eighty than at 20?

[@yeslets6049]

You’re kidding. This is a beautiful version ❤

[@clemsonbloke]

I don't what year that is but Ed died in 2023 at age 95!

[@5brosn1chick]

Amazing. His voice improved with age. So rich and mellow and his vibrato doesn't wobble.

[@emailvonsour]

It does wobble.

[@1970groupie]

Spot on. No old man's wobble there. Rock solid. He doesn't sound like an 81 year old at all. A credit to him. He's a real treasure.

[@kathydixon3716]

It's 2023 and Ed has just recently passed away. A wonderful man and a great talent. 😥

[@JJAH28]

That is one incredible voice that will be greatly missed. I am considerably younger and I absolutely loved Ed's music. Also used to enjoy watching him on the Daniel Boone show. What a talented man!

[@cricks2]

Holy Cow! He can still sing!!! I just hope to still be breathing when I get to his age! Well done!

[@folgore1]

I used to see him as Mingo on Daniel Boone reruns as a kid. From commercials, I knew he was part of a quartet with his brothers during the 50's. Only now, on a whim, I decided to listen to him in a couple of KZbin vid and words can't describe how amazing I find him as a singer! Truly extraordinary!

[@terryflagg7096]

I have loved this song since I heard it as a child, probably on Ed Sullivan Show. Of course, the Daniel Boone show was a weekly favorite and we loved Mingo. Mr. Ames, your voice is a treasure and this video proves that it has improved over the years. That is a rare gift and am so happy to have found this video. Thank you for being an elegant, intelligent, and caring man. I doubt we will see anyone come close to your equal in the future. Thank you for blessing us with your voice that still gives me goosebumps!

[@rick3514]

Brings back a lot of fond memories!

[@joefrisbey5252]

Ed Ames is 94 years old now and I will bet that he still sounds great compared to who is singing today

[@Cynthia-ht8ld]

Sadly, Ed Ames died on May 21,2023 at the age of 95. July 9,1927-May 21,2023. Rest in peace and sing with the angels.

"In this moment with sunlight above..." It has been most of a lifetime since we were young and the world was bright. Back then, cancer separated us in this life, but not in the next. Although I am now grayed, bent, and limping, my cup still runs over with love. We were not allowed to grow old together, but we will share eternity together. I will always love you.

That is beautiful ❤

[@flannerymonaghan-morris4825]

This was one of my Grammy’s wedding songs back in 1967. She passed away a year ago, and this song was sung/played at her funeral. Cannot stop crying now. RIP Grammy. I miss you sooooo much.

[@bfcraigable]

This man has the most beautiful voice I have ever heard. There can never be anyone to rival him.

[@dentman10]

Reminds me of extremely happy times with my parents..... who are now gone. Ed Ames and this song bring back wonderful memories and I appreciate them more every year. Can't watch this anymore without a tear...

[@scaredy-cat]

RIP the great Mr Ames

[@maxwellhistoricalpreservat5282]

Mr. Ames is truly a total Talented Gentleman of another level. He is one in seven Billion!

[@johannesvanhoek9080]

One of the very best ever !

[@stormie5010]

I'm sorry, but it doesn't get any better than this. A wonderful man and singer.

[@SpiritedHearts]

I love these old uplifting songs, these singers from the past, especially Ed Ames and Tennessee Ernie Ford ~ such wonderful tenor voices.

[@joerabbitt109]

+SpiritedHearts Bass and baritone voices

[@emailvonsour]

@@joerabbitt109 I'd say they'd both be basses if they trained classically.

[@davidcheatwood9032]

my older sister and 2 neighborhood girls played this 45 all the time. I heard it so much I could sing it word for word at age 10. I didn't appreciate the lyrics then but now, having felt the power of being in love in my own life, this could very well be the best, most powerful love song ever written. And no one can sing it like Ed Ames.

[@shawndoak7163]

Yes, he is still.alive and I can't believe a voice as great at he has gets even better with age. It is beyond belief that the greates voice I have ever heard gets even better. God has really gifted him. I sing in his range but I couldn't begin to rival him. What a God given talent.

[@packman5906]

This song went to #8 on the Billboard Chart in 1965! In the middle of all that rock and roll music, a man sang a beautiful ballad and brought us all to tears. And he is still alive today!

[@barbaraadamson4668]

Thank you for lovely memories. This song was the theme song at my wedding 53 years ago.

[@jjsmith949]

I'm back to hear this song again and again! What a voice and what a magical song...Incredible voice. Thanks for sharing.

[@StevenTorrey]

I received a 45 of this recording maybe for Xmas 1967 (or so) from my family--my adopted family-- I thought it was a beautiful song--so full of meaning about admitting that love is possible... My father just passed away at age 90... Many thanks for all the love they gave to me and to my daughter...

[@StevenTorrey]

I wrote that three years ago... My goodness, where does the time go?

[@จันทร์พรส์สุธาสินี]

My first time- what a beautiful touching song!!

[@hondostone9046]

Wow! Even better than the original Now that is really beautiful music!

[@anyabeetle]

My parents played music all the time in the house when I was young. I remember his Christmas album was my favorite when I was just a very little girl of four or five. I was so in love with his voice and still am.

[@mikeymaff8074]

What a voice !!! Amazing and distinct.No one sounded like Mr.Ames

[@charmarie33]

I love to listen to Ed Ames thanks to my father who couldn't believe that I would listen to any other kind of music!! He was very picky with who he listened to and would have been 70 tomorrow.

[@Goodguy628]

Ed ames can just flat out sing!!! and I did enjoy him as an actor. Thank you Ed for all the entertainment you have provided through the years.

[@MNBluestater]

THIS MAN IS AN AMAZING TALENT ! I have admired him for 41 years !

[@adon07]

Outstanding!! Ed Ames sounds just as goof or better than in 1967. I once tried to learn this song so that I could sing it properly. I love the words to the song and know that his voice is one of the greatest. Thank you Ed Ames!!

[@MsSprinky]

wow, brings tears to my eyes. I remember when this song came out. Everyone sang it.

[@patriciahesselgren5816]

During the Viet Nam war, I met my 1st husband. We heard this song playing on Ft. Sam Houston,Texas. It became our song. The next day was his birthday and he asked me to marry him. 9 months later he returned and we were married. In the dining room he asked the pianist to play our song. 2 days later he left me for Viet Nam. Less than 2 months later he was returned to Ft. Sam Houston's famous Burn Ward in Critical Condition. Jesus called him home less than 3 weeks later. For Christmas I gave him a pair of blue baby booties and our record. I still have Ed Ames ' record. I don't have my husband or our son. Ed's voice was so magical.

[@Dyxe47]

My Mom had this album when it came out, and I listened to it over and over. I used to have all the songs on there memorized, and they still bring a big smile to my face,

[@I_Palaver]

The man STILL has it, every bit of it.

[@kimlong5426]

still sounded amazing! My parent's favorite song......my siblings and I watched them slow dance to this (unbeknownst to them!) many many times....there was no one else in the world except the two of them........I miss them!

[@attra91]

R.I.P. Ed. Your memories will live forever!

[@1234Krueger]

Nearly 50 years ago. This melody struck me right in the middle of my heart. Oh man were we young. Noone in Germany knew that song, it was one of my favorites. From the beginning to the end of time! My cup runneth over with love! Thank you thousand times Ed Ames! And thank you Rhapsodist11.

[@jonibaloney2003]

He is 80+ years old in this video!!! What an extraordinary voice! Now run over to itunes and buy this song!! Does anyone sing with this clarity these days? The good Lord broke the mold on this one...

[@reinavb]

A favorite in my home as a child. I can't stop listening. Brings tears to my eyes. I so feel this song now after just marrying a friend I first met 42 years ago. Especially the last verse. To find your soulmate at 60 is such a gift.

[@trp3141592]

We were young and in love when this song performed by Ed Ames hit the airwaves. Our cups ran over with love then, but cancer separated us only a few years later. Now after nearly 40 years the my hair is white and a limp has entered my step, but my cup STILL runneth over with love. I will love you always.

[@Dana888dana]

He is over 80 years old here? Wow! He still looks great!! Still very handsome and distinguished and classy. Still can sing too. Must come from good clean living. An absolutely beautiful song perfectly done! I had this on 45 and now decades later have it on my I-Pod. Thank goodness we can still listen to wonderful songs such as this one! The songs and entertainers now can't compare - they are churned out accordingly to how they look and not necessarily major talents in their own right.

[@xbigshot1]

OMG, what a great song!!! Fantastic!!!

[@wizardglick1]

I don't think I can come up with an adjective to describe how perfectly Ed sings this song. Bravo!

[@15minutesoffame1]

WoW! What a voice he still has! I'm 16 and I want to thnk my grandparents for playing those old vinyl records and letting me hear God's voice slowly put me to sleep! I love all these classical songs! The good ol' days.. How I never knew thee... ;(

May your autumn days be beautiful! My parents danced to this song; so many memories... but as you mentioned, its the "little" things that do add up without us even realizing so. Those little things can make a mountain of difference.

[@clovisparadela7349]

Hello Mountain Poet Thank you for sharing this very beautiful song. But we cannot call it an "old song", because songs and singers like in this presentation are immortal, eternal and that is why they are always current. Olá Mountain Poet Obrigado por ter compartilhado essa muito linda canção. Mas não podemos chamar de "velha canção", porque canções e cantores como nessa apresentação são imortais, eternos e por isso são sempre atuais.

[@johnrichmon1829]

I haven't heard this song in forever. I was reminded while listening to a Floyd Cramer compilation.

[@kelteckid]

When I was in my mid-teens listening to this song on the radio back in the 60s I appreciated it for the beautiful song that it was. Now, married to my wife for 38 years and more quickly approaching those autumn days than I would like, I can say how meaningful it can become to those who have grown thru life, raising kids,and being alone together again. It's the little things, guys, that we all remember in the end.

I can't even read the lyrics without crying let alone listen to this wonderful song. Beautiful. But I miss my Michelle Leigh.

This is a song from an album that I purchased in the 60's. A classic love song that has bridged the years beautifully. It is a song that has remained in my mind and heart all these years. His voice is still the best ever. Thank you for sharing and God bless.

[@petsindanger5026]

In the original recording, he holds the last note for 16 bars. That's a professional.

Did not count them but yes... he holds the note really long and with a crescendo before fading out... a masterful ending, certainly
